paulus 26 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 as you say in your post 1st rabbit, shes retrieved the dummy and ball thousands of times i bet, could be she wasnt sure whot to do with it? dispatch it and chuck it for her to retrieve whilst warm a few times she will soon get the idea. the 1st one my young dog caught it ate and the second its fine now. 1 Quote Link to post
Country Joe 1,411 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 I had the same problem with my 5 Month Whippet, he would also retrieve Balls ect and also the Rabbit Dummy, when I tried him with a Dead rabbit, he would only sniff it, then leave it, I then threw the rabbit dummy and he retrieved, tried the rabbit again, but only sniffed and left it. Received this advice from Skycat, tie light rope to rabbit legs and let him chase, I also spun the Rabbit, when he was mouthing it, got him really geed up, then flung the rabbit out twice, this is the result, hope this helps.
